“The future is to be conquered, the present ridiculed, and the past outdone." Voltaire Almighty
Roger Pearson
“Nowadays a long Romantic tradition has caused us to think of poets as private dreamers, ill-adapted to social intercourse and the horrors of a materialist world but thereby guardians of value and the messengers of our common soul. In 1711 François senior would have viewed a young poet as a modern parent might view an aspirant television celebrity.”
Roger Pearson, Voltaire Almighty
